Hrithik-Sussanne's separation not 'closure', says Sanjay Khan

Actor-filmmaker Sanjay Khan on Friday said that the decision of his daughter Sussanne and son-in-law Hrithik Roshan to separate was not a "closure", but the couple needed some space to resolve their issues.

Hrithik said in a statement earlier on Friday that "Sussanne has decided to separate from me and end our 17 years relationship".

When asked for his reaction, Khan told PTI: "Like any other normal couple they also have some issues. Just because Hrithik is a superstar, doesn't mean he will not have personal issues. They both are intelligent and wonderful people. It's just that they need space. Of course this is not a closure.

"They respect each other. To resolve issues, may be this is what they thought was good," he said.
